Advocate

A river has a head and a mouth, but it has no a voice with which to speak in our classrooms, courtrooms and town halls. Coosa Riverkeeper advocates on behalf of the river to ensure it is spoken for when decisions that might impact it are made.

In a number of governmental decisions made every year that can impact the river, officials are required to solicit and respond to public comments. In these situations, our comments advocate for the best interests of the river and the people who use it.
